microphone on ipod touch 2g?

[dtlang12]

I just got a ipod touch 2g for an xmas present. I downloaded shazam and fring. Both i need a microphone and i thought the 2g touch had a built in mic. Do i need to turn it on or something or does the mic not work with those apps? Thanks.

lol, do more research next time you want to buy something

heh. Yes, to turn on the microphone, you need to shake the ipod for 10 minutes. Then the accelerometer will notice that you want the microphone. Then it will turn on. TADAA!

also you have to buy zombie mansion. That has a special thing in it that makes the mic work. I dont know how, but it does.

The iPod touch 2g can work with external mics, but does not have one built in.

It also helps if you beat a hooker with your iPod. That usually turns the mic on. If not try hitting it with a baseball bat a few times.

Mine didn't work until I did jumping jacks in the middle of the freeway with it

don't listen to justin. he doesn't know the difference between an iphone and a nano.

to activate the microphone, do some disco moves to Stayin' Alive by the Bee-Gees. if you can't, call AT&T and a represenative will assist you.

Guys, stop posting the wrong way to get the microphone to work. This website will show you how. http://blogs.zdnet.com/ip-telephony/...tag=rbxccnbzd1
